1) You’re Not Eating Enough
You aren’t getting enough calories.
You skip meals, and your diet should be evaluated.
You are not eating healthy and nutritious foods.
You think you eat a lot, but you don’t.
You are malnourished as a result of a poor and insufficient diet in the past.
You are an extremely picky eater.
2) You haven’t been Lifting Long enough; Be Patient
You anticipate quick results. The bigger guy in the gym was dedicated to his fitness goals by lifting and eating without hesitation. He’s been at it for a lot longer than you have. To achieve the same level of success, you must work hard and be determined. Building a foundation takes time.
3) Inconsistent Training
You are not consistent with your workout routine. A lack of drive can lead to commitment issues and inconsistent training. You need to commit and be disciplined to achieve the desired results in the gym.
4) Under-Recovering and Overtraining
You won’t recover properly from your workouts if you don’t get enough sleep and eat enough. Overtraining for the sake of seeing faster results will result in symptoms such as sore muscles, frequent fatigue, sleep disruptions, and an increased chance of injury, which will prevent you from progressing in the gym.
Under-recovery can be treated by working out smarter, getting enough rest, and eating a healthier diet.
5) You’re on the Wrong Exercise Program
Do you put so much time and effort into your exercise program only to see mediocre results? You may be performing the incorrect exercises. One of them is incorrect lifting or improper form.
If you’re having trouble getting bigger and stronger, it might be time to change your training routine.
6) You’re not Lifting Often
If you want to be as big as the other guys in the gym, you must prioritize fitness. The other guy in the gym has been committed to lifting weights and increasing his strength. So go to the gym on a regular basis and lift heavy weights. Make the most of your efforts to achieve the best results.
7) You’re Eating the Wrong Foods
Gaining weight can be challenging for most skinny guys. Aside from eating more calories, you should also eat the right foods. Consume nutritious and healthy foods. Instead of overeating one thing, try a variety. Choose healthy foods over unhealthy ones.
8) Poor Digestion
How is your digestion? If you struggle to eat more and lack appetite, you may be suffering from digestive issues. If you get heartburn, acid reflux, belching, and gas after eating certain foods and types.
Muscle growth and healthy digestion are linked. Many factors influence your digestive system, including a lack of sleep, stress, and an unhealthy diet.
Improve your digestion in order to absorb nutrients more effectively for significant muscle growth and recovery. In the long run, digestive issues can lead to hormonal imbalances and low testosterone levels.
9) Low Testosterone
You might suffer from low testosterone, which is crucial to gaining muscle and increasing energy.
If you never see the desired results in the gym and believe that you don’t have enough strength and energy to work out efficiently, you should check your testosterone levels. Increase your testosterone by eating healthy, increasing sleep quality, and lifting heavy weights.
10) You easily Quit and Give up
The successful guy in the gym worked extremely hard to get to where he is now. Assuming the other guy is all-natural and has never used steroids. He is shredded and looks his best because he believes in himself, commits to his goals, and learns and grows from his mistakes.
Most importantly, he did not give up and remained patient throughout his journey.
You give up and quit several times because you are not seeing results. You don’t notice any changes in your appearance. My advice is to stick with it, keep lifting and eating well, make fitness a priority, learn new things, be patient, and never give up.
If you stop, you will never see any results and will look the same five years from now.
Conclusion
Don’t compare yourself with the other person in the gym. Just try to be the better version of yourself by implementing the right things. Being committed and patient is the key. Learn from your mistakes and keep going forward. Stay motivated and strong. I wish you strength, peace, patience, vitality and happiness.
